Anyone want to do recreational/practice climbing Leeds/York area?
Lancstree replied to Scottie's topic in Climbers talk
Sounds good. Might be able to get to that on that date. -
AFAG 401 states that ropes used for friction hitches must be of a suitable type and have a minimum diameter of 8mm and a diameter of 10mm is recommended for normal commercial use. Bail out is 7.5mm

I'd consider making the trip over. I used to live in York and haven't been back in ages. -
Could the literature pertaining to the use of friction cord (fastco and guide to good climbing practice) make this distinction between cord to be used with one or both ends terminated? I think this would make climbers more aware of the safe minimum diameter of friction cord depending on their friction hitch setup and it would also broaden their choice in rope types when purchasing new rope.

I've got a tip. Totally block out whoever is stood there watching you and shouting "get a ladder"! Seriously you've got to block out people who watch to fight off frustration. Try different angles, different weights of throwing knot and amount of loops in accordance with the distance. Also sometimes you might have to set your sights lower and take into account if its saving much time by aiming high. I've been known to suffer from rage.

Rubbish day and crammed! Up a big maple in blizzard trying to get a hanger out with freezing wet hands and slime running down my sleeve into my pits. If it freezes tonight with this stuff down it will be hell on the roads tomorrow

Very true. He has access but still lifts the mouse up in the air to get the cursor to move so I need to be there to help! I think one of these in addition to a projector would be great. Photo's are really valuable and I'm gonna take loads so I can look back on things later in life

Those look good but I think he wants to stay old school

There's too much choice and I'm banned!

My dad's after one to look at his old slides but doesn't want to pay through the roof. Can anyone recommend where to get a reasonable priced one or maybe want to sell and unwanted projector?

If the brand new kit comes with a certificate of conformity then it doesn't need to be subject to thorough examination until six months of use. In the absence of evidence of conformity it has to be examined by a loler inspector prior to use.

It seems to have a guard over the kick-back zone. Perhaps that would make it safe for ground use?

He's entitled to his opinion!!

Great. Keep em coming! Always useful to have an armory of information at close hand

I heard of one company painting all its expensive tackle pink, including van and chipper, as a theft deterrent. Pretty good idea

What are the treetop raasay smock sizes like? I'm usually a small but occasionally medium

Wow what a resource! Thanks, a great post. If only this was on the web when I was at college. The search facility makes it much easier to find what you are looking for rather than grabbing a stack of journals from a library shelf and rooting through.

Haven't been on this thread for a while so sorry for no replies. Big Boss, I'm sorry I missed your offer but its too late for me this time because I've booked and paid. By the good reports posted here I'm sure I'll enjoy it so I'll maybe sort something out with you for next time I go Big Boss. What sort of things can I do around Alvor or daytrips away? I've got a hire car sorted.

Thats a really good idea indeed

You're welcome and I'm pleased to see such a sum of money go to a good cause
